Review Q&A toyota rwanda
Why do westerners feel a need to set themselves, their morals and their way of life as an example for others in the developing world to follow?
Only some Westerns do this, but those are the ones making the ,most noise., They are various busybodies that are trying to spread their beliefs. ,Selection bias, (and loudness) means these "busybodies" are seen representative of the West. You should also keep in mind that some of these people are pushing their politics/belief systems in developing countries because the beliefs (and often the people pushing them) have been rejected in developed countries. In other words, ,they are losers. There is a well promoted "industrial design philosophy" that comes from Japan. It has been pointed out (by a late friend of mine) that these ideas have no traction in Japan with Sony, Honda, Toyota, Nikon etc. ****** ****** However, on a more practical level, one set of questions that comes up is "why are Western countries richer than developing countries" The answer is they do different things. This leads to the more practical issue of "what things can my country do to get richer ?" And some of the more useful answers come from looking at Singapore Costa Rica Botswana Brazil Kerala State in India South Korea * (magic is very, very hard work) Norway* (magic is offshore oil) What not to do Iceland & banking Nicaragua Venezuela Ethiopia Yugoslavia Finally, there are countries doing really stupid things, and can expect to get told what to do by every other country....

Do you agree that if tariffs and protectionism are bad then why has it worked for China? Is it true that China has had 25 years of protectionist policies but it's worked out great for their economy?
Thanks for A2A. The reality of today’s world is that there is uneven economic development between countries, similar to the situation in the 19th Century between for example Britain and parts of Europe. In fact, the German economist Friedrich List in 1841 complained that Britain, having attained economic supremacy through high tariffs and extensive subsidies, wanted the rest of Europe to have free market and free trade by denying them the same path to achieve economic competence. This was just like ‘kicking away the ladder’ with which they had climbed to reach the world’s top economic position. Let me just quote what I wrote some time ago on trade policy…Made in China 2025. ‘The country’s trade policy has literally been the most protectionist in the world for the last few decades, with an average industrial tariff rate at 40-55%. The majority of the population cannot vote, and vote buying and electoral fraud are widespread. Corruption is rampant, with political parties selling government jobs to their financial backers. The country has never recruited a single civil servant through an open, competitive process. Its public finances are precarious, with government loan defaults that worry foreign investors. Despite this, it discriminates heavily against foreign investors. Especially in the banking sector, foreigners are prohibited from becoming directors while foreign shareholders cannot even exercise their voting rights unless they are resident in the country. It does not have a competition law, permitting cartels and other forms of monopoly to grow unchecked. Its protection of intellectual property rights is patchy, particularly marred by its refusal to protect foreigner’s copyrights.’ Do you know which country this refers to? This was the USA under Alexander Hamilton, who together with Benjamin Franklin’s protection of American manufacturing against ‘social dumping’ from Europe, managed to establish a manufacturing base in the USA. Don’t forget that at the time, US had a lot of available farmland and if the pay was not adequate the new migrants would have just dumped their jobs and go and do their farming as they used to do in their former home countries. Even Thomas Jefferson believed that patents were manifestly wrong because ideas are ‘like air’ and therefore should not be owned by anyone. So, there we are, the USA which was preaching free trade and free markets when they set up the WTO, went about saying ‘do as we say, not as we do’, to the countries in Africa or South Asia, or China etc. In the process, many of the policies advocated by the IMF or World Bank, while supposedly given the fact they extended loans to these countries, required that they follow the dictum they prescribed. In Zambia for example, its textile industry was decimated when the lowered tariffs led to large increases in imports of cheap second hand clothing from industrialised countries. The same thing happened with their agricultural sector when it was liberalised. Not all countries have succeeded through protectionism and subsidies but then few countries have succeeded without them. For those developing countries where free trade has been imposed on them by more powerful countries, it has mostly been unmitigated disaster. The best performers were those that opened up their economies selectively and gradually. Free trade & Free market in a neo-liberal sense has not really achieved fantastic growth for the economies which employed them, and in developing countries you need to nurture your own industries until they can compete internationally. Many of the best and well-known multinationals were initially home –grown and subsidized by their governments until they became successful. Examples abound – Singapore Airlines, Toyota, Samsung, Hyundai, Boeing, Semiconductor industries in US, Alcatel, Rhone Poulenc, Embraer, Petrobras, and Volkswagen. These were all related to or owned by the state. China has used a strategy similar to Taiwan, by providing a good economic environment to let the private sector grow using supply of cheap and high quality inputs by the public enterprises and then privatising some of the state owned enterprises as the private enterprise share of the economy grew. Some of the unique kind of enterprises involve a hybrid ownership of state owned town and village businesses which are formally owned by the local authorities but operate as if they are privately owned. Some of the political cadres with experience will run these enterprises. In many ways, this is a form of equity sharing among citizens. Public enterprises have often been set up to kick start capitalism and when there is a huge initial outlay and long gestation period, you can seldom get private entrepreneurs to invest in it, so the state has to lend a hand. Korea for example, controlled their scarce foreign exchange early on and in combination with a carefully designed list of priorities, ensured the money was used to import vital machinery and industrial inputs. It controlled foreign investment in many sectors in order to develop its own economic strength in designated sectors. And it certainly used reverse engineering and overlooked patents in its pirated products. Is it a free trade economy as far as the West is concerned? Well if it is, then Japan and China, using the same methods are also similar. Tariff and subsidies were not there to shield industries from international competition forever but to give them the time to incorporate new technologies and establish new organisational capabilities and efficiencies until they could compete in the world market. All of the developed countries used a similar path to get rich, policies which go against neo-liberal economics. Only the Netherlands and Switzerland did not use much protection but then they didn’t protect patents either. That grand democracy India doesn’t give a hoot for drug patents for example, so why did the West not take them to court. Do you seriously believe that Chinese Banks would ever see the light of day if China had liberalised its financial sector for example and allowed all the banks from the developed economies to come in when development started off. Chinese banks were so undeveloped in the early stages of their industrialisation that they would have been totally overwhelmed by the sheer resources and efficiencies of foreign competitors. Keeping foreign companies out certainly would have been a good thing for them until they were competitive enough. Thomas Friedman ( The Lexus and the Olive Tree), managed to prescribe a set of economic policies which he described as the “Golden Straitjacket”, a neo-liberal economic orthodoxy which was supposed to enable developing countries to catch up and be able to join the developed world. A one size fits all approach. Every country, he says, needs to privatise state-owned enterprises, maintain low inflation, reduce the size of government bureaucracy, balance the budget (if not running a surplus), liberalise trade, deregulate foreign investment, deregulate capital markets, make the currency convertible, reduce corruption and privatise pensions. The only path to success in the global economy. This mantra made its rounds in the free press and by its adoption those developing economies especially in Africa actually fared far worse than if they had practised more controlled tariff and protectionism for their own industries. In re-writing the history of the globalised world in a new light, the rich countries conveniently omitted the fact that they imposed free trade on weaker nations through colonialism, maintained high industrial tariffs, and practised protectionism. It is a fact that the USA through its protected industries became so competitive that it led to the decline of British economic supremacy. While the U.S.' tempestuous trade relationship with China has dominated the news, the world's largest economy is also harboring a disagreement with the landlocked African country of Rwanda over an unusual commodity — second-hand clothes. Rwanda risks losing the economic benefits of its membership of the U.S.' African Growth and Opportunity Act, which permits duty-free U.S. imports on 6,500 goods. In July 2016 Rwanda, along with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, hiked tariffs on imported second-hand garments, fearing that cheap clothes from abroad were threatening domestic manufacturing, but the latter three countries backed out in the face of the AGOA. So you see, the poor are often not very able to contend against the rich. The only way for China to compete effectively with the industrialised West was to adopt their manufacturing principles, technical know-how and management of the manufacturing process. There was therefore a trade off in that you get cheap Chinese labour to manufacture your products which enables you, the Western entrepreneur to obtain both more profits in sales at home as well as in the Chinese domestic market. There were never any serious complaints in the many early years in this form of cooperation and sharing of technology, until lately the USA decided that they had to do something to revive the fortunes of their manufacturing class, whose wages were not improving with the times. This is actually due to government and corporate manipulation, but that is a topic for another day. It is quite late in the day to start the manufacturing process for basic low end mass products all over again. The Western economies have been outsourcing their manufacturing for many decades. There is so much hullabaloo about IP theft and so on, and in fact many western enterprises have won their legal suits in Chinese courts increasingly over the years. In fact China pays 7.2 Billion USD in IP fees to USA as recent as 2017 out of a services deficit of 57.63 Billion USD but this is not mentioned at all in the MSM. Sometimes the media creates noise and to sieve through that noise requires a bit of filtering. For example this is an entry from a service company operating within China….. look at how the conversation goes… Does the U.S. have any proof that China is forcing U.S. companies to transfer its tech? Anonymous Answered Sep 8 Writing anonymously because it involves my current company and colleagues. I work for a high tech company headquartered in Cal. USA. Our company is a wholly owned foreign company operating in APAC, EMEA, including a large operation in 5 cities in China. Our business is one of the hot and competitive technology and we are one of the leaders in the field. Two days ago our global sales EVP, another sales VP for APJ and trade compliance officer were in China and hosting a leadership dinner in Shanghai. All of them are Americans. During the dinner inevitably we talked about the ongoing tariff. In the end our EVP stated he was all about free trading but “that forced JV to transfer technology has to stop” he said. I asked does anyone know any industry still requires joint venture, apart from automotive industry which Tesla just broke the convention. Nobody gave an answer, including the trade compliance officer. In the end the legal counsel (who is a Chinese) said education industry and accounting firms still require JV. “But they don’t have a technology transfer”, the EVP said. So, more silence until someone changed the subject. JV used to often seen in China in the 90s and early 2000. I don’t know how many industry or business still require JV with technology transfer as of today. Before all the rhetorics, can anyone clarify, now which industry in China still requires JV to operate, which includes technology transfer? As for the USA, you can also check up their history of protectionism. The history of US protectionism, in one 230-year chart
What are the best and worst things about public transit in Kigali, Rwanda? How could it be improved?
Kigali is a beautiful city. Here are the best things about our public transport: Tap&Go,: We’re moving onto a cashless payment system. It’s some time since we started using these. It’s incredibly cool. The comfort of the buses: Toyota Coaster is the type we use. City wide. No more Matatus since long (10 years or so). The Coaster has ample space, they give you a feeling of safety (probably their size, I guess ?). They are now equipped with a speed governor system. This was imposed as a requirement as a way to reduce road accidents. Very cool, too. They are fast, reliable, and they have a kind of priority on the road. The country is doing all it can to invest in public transport, and the results are promising. What has to be improved: We haven’t yet figured out how to manage rush hours. Queues are horrific during those times. Fixed schedule: Most of the time, the bus will leave when it is full. It becomes pretty challenging to the busy guys who lack disposable time on hand. Other than that, I do not think there’s anything else that could be improved. Other parts of the country are not well served as Kigali, though. We’re still a developing country. We struggle here and there.

How is it possible that Rwanda is developing at a faster rate than Nigeria when Nigeria has access to the coast, youthful population, and natural resources? Why don't the leaders of Nigeria replicate the model of the leaders of Rwanda?
I don't want to come here and start a rant about how terrible our government is or this and that. But the truth remains that Nigeria, which is my country, where I've lived all my whole live has a really messed up politics and economy altogether. Nigeria is the only country where a farmer would be appointed as minister of Sports or a footballer appointed as minister of defense…you get the odd. Political posts and appointments aren't based on merit but based on favoritism or nepotism. Aside that, during the presidential campaign earlier this year, the current (re-elected) president when questioned was always helped out by his vice. He seemed to have no clue about anything going on with the states of the affair of the country. That apart, he's so sick that he'd spent months overseas trying to get well. Some points rumors came out he was dead. T His wife (first lady) even yelled out they're people controlling her husband. But here I am, not trying to blame the entire issue on the president but the fact that this man is the number citizen, he's the first figure of Nigeria. He represents the entire 190-something mlion people. Corruption is like a norm here. Police brutality is really rampant. Custom officials are very deadly. There isn't any good or easily asssessible funds for those aspiring to create in the country. Innoson Motor (IVM) is a Nigerian home-made care manufacturing company but twell, because the company is from the east (Igbo) no word of encouragement from the federal government (because they prefer to purchase expensive foreign cars like Toyota and so forth) while the Nigerian own company is dying. There is this issue of tribalism among the three major tribes in the country so identity politics is very rampant here. And so many things which are really terrible like in authenticity. You can read more on the state of the country's economy online. You'll devastated.
What is the feeling of Chinese living/working in Africa?
I worked in east Africa (Kenya) for little over 2 years. I was hired by Africans, worked for African enterprise as a senior exec. So, I may not be the typical Chinese living/working there. There is a large Chinese community in Kenya, and I had many friends. They are my colleagues, or customers of our company working for the Chinese government owned enterprise, or private businesses, restaurant owners, officials from Chinese embassy, friends’ friend. I did not have a chance to interact with labor force from China. My own experience is overwhelmingly positive. I learned a great deal from that 2+ years. Kenya has great business leaders. They are visionary, innovative and have the courage to try new things. They can easily put the CEOs on Wall St. in shame. I also have positive impression with government leaders. I think Kenya has a good president. Practical, progressive, and with a good heart. Police on the street can be little corrupted, and they love to stop Chinese, knowing many of them are willing to give some money and move on. The first time I landed in Nairobi, the “highway” from airport to downtown are totally in dark. By the time I left two some years later, it all lit up with buildings and commercials. The speed of change is there, people just don’t notice it. I didn’t run into any major security issues except a stolen spare tire from my Toyota Prado. Traffic can be horrible, especially near where I work/live. Since I worked quite hard, don’t have time during the week to get into the trouble spots. And I golf during the weekend, which was completely safe. I left before the election period, when the business and social condition were typically difficult. Africa is a big continent, each country is different. E.g. Rwanda is a safe and clean country, orderly, and working hard to transform that little country. I am sure a decades later, it will become the crown jewel of east Africa. Tanzania is quite nice, but seems the policy prevent it to grow faster like Kenya and Rwanda. South Africa is a very modern country in one side, and extremely unsafe on the other.
Is Africa good for travelling?
Well, it’s a continent… so there is one thing. I wouldn’t suggest you hitchhike around Mali right now, something I did in the early 2000’s. But if you pick the right countries, it’s both good and safe. You need to do some background to get the right company, since it seems like you’re coming from outside the continent. But it’s more than good, it’s incredible. You could bike, motorbike, drive, walk, whatever you want. I’d start with Rwanda (partially because of COVID - I love travel in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, and I’ve also loved traveling in West Africa). You can experience so much in so little time. Normally a month is good, but when you have less time, come to Rwanda. Our infrastructure is great - I drive all over in a Toyota Corolla (and all over means all the heck over.) You can see wildlife, you could stay downmarket or upmarket, you can hike, or you could do more arranged trips with a company. Quora isn’t a site for more than general advice, and so I’d say look into Rwanda. At least as a starting point - the 3-month East African tourist visa would mean you could also visit Uganda and Kenya, and do some coast time too. I know people are nervous about coming here. I was too in the beginning. Now, 20 years later, I’m alert but not nervous. But less alert than the couple of years I spent in D.C.
What is the best way to order a taxi in Kigali, Rwanda?
There are 2 major Taxi companies in kigali . there is Yego Cabs which is the regular one , you’ll know it by it white and yellow coloured Toyota Carina Es with Yego Cabs Written in red And there is MOVE , it is our Uber Equivalent . It is operated by Volkswagen and is much more cheaper than YegoCabs all you’ve got to do is Download the MOVE app and the rest is self explanatory I prefer move for it’s convenience . Note that for YegoCabs you’ll have To go to a taxi queue to board on or call one via their hotline
Which countries in Africa have the best trained armies?
I would say tentatively: Chadian are natural born warriors. They extensively support the French in Sahel, where they have by far the most efficient local military. Chadian mercenaries were believed to support Ghadaffi during his last days. They also had extensive combat experience against Sudan (Toyota raid) Rwanda: the FPR military proved very disciplined during the Rwandan civil war or the Congolese civil war Angola: had a long experience of combat against South Africa and their own UNITA guerilla. They were at some point the spearhead of the Soviet Union and Africa and were trained by the Cuban Ethiopia: Used by the US as the local policeman of the African horn. Long experience of full scale (including entrenchments) war with Eritrea. Of course South Africa and Nigeria have well equipped forces by local standards but I’m not sure that they combat readiness is so high.
Who would win if the leaders of every country fought, Hunger Games style?
Ah, all the peoples who bet on Putin forget that his badassitude is mostly a well polished Internet meme. KGB is an intelligence agency, they may have a few Jason Bourne, but the bulk of the job is to collect informations through the usual technics : manipulation, corruption, seduction, blackmail and of course, listening at the doors. Netanyahu is pretty strong but I need something more original. ,Dylan Xiao, is right, Africa got plenty of war proven strongmen though personally I would not vote for Kabila, he got his job after his Dad's death. Not just warlords, here are two respected leaders. They both rose to power at the point of the gun and survived numerous plots and assassinations. Neither of them is an altar boy. Paul Kagame ,(president of Rwanda), ... spent 15 years inside a uniform. He fought some really nasty civil wars and managed to make it to the top. He's regularly described as a really, really smart man - and this should count even more than his military credentials. Idriss Deby, (president of Chad), ... also spent a good 15 years in the military. Born in the desert, he's a Zhagawa, an ethnicity with a long warrior tradition. An excellent tactician, he participate in the ,Toyota War, and made it to the top - and kept his seat - through civil wars and raids.
